he has a new ad hitting romney on that, suggesting romney would keep troops in iran and afghanistan longer than he would. you can expect him to tie that back. one of the back drops for this is a new nbc/wall street journal poll that shows mitt romney and barack obama deadlocked at 47% among likely voters. two principle elements to mitt romney's rise to a tie. he had been down by three points in our last poll among likely voters. one is he's regained his edge in terms of who can best handle the economy. it was tied in mid-september. now 46-47%. he's had a rise in assessments of ability to serve as commander in chief. that could be as a result of his strong performance in the first debate, in particular. perhaps some fallout from what happened to president obama, the hit he's taken on leadership over the libya situation. right now mitt romney only trails 44-41 on who would be a better commander in chief. that suggests he enters this debate tonight at some level of parity on that. >> parity seems to be the operative word on many fronts. long day for you and me. for more on the debate, we're j

this is governor romney's plan. obviously there are a number of similarities between governor romney's plan and the plan that congressman ryan championed when he was in the house writing the budget this year. the reality is that any differences there may be between governor romney's plan and house republican budget are dwarfed by the differences between governor romney and congressman ryan's approach. we've seen soaring deficit and soaring debt and you've got more americans unemployed today than when barack obama took office. the contrast between the romney/ryan ticket and what president obama is offering could not be more stark. >> let's talk specifically about some medicare cuts. you guys have been aggressive in trying to target the president saying that those medicare cuts he's using to fund obama care, that's the wrong way to handle those cuts. ryan said he would keep the cuts but use them for different reasons. governor said he would restore them but hasn't explained how. any clarity there? >> we have to make s
